What language does he program in? Here's the rundown.
C = PHP
Java = JSP, or PHP, they are all C based anyway.
VB = ASP
If he is a Delphi programmer I think he is out of luck for similar syntax,
and should go with CF if he digs RAD.
They all do the same thing. Blah to the boosterism.

Subject: [thelist] Programming language/database suggestions?
> Hi listers -
>> My cousin has written some utility programs that he wants to sell on the
web. He is now thinking of getting his own server on which to host his site.
He says, in part:

to learn. Also, I know that I will need some kind of database >server so I

PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL, etc...). Not all the web >hosting
companies offer every platform that I might need or want, so by >hosting my
own site I can choose any platform I want.
>> Any suggestions that would help him choose?
